An idiomatic guitar transcription of this Sibelius's solo cello work dating from 1887 when he was 22 years. The work owes much to Bach in terms of its style, although the theme on which the variations are based has a certain Finnish-Nordic flavour. Nino Atanaskovic has done a great favour for all guitarists by arranging this work for his instrument. Now even the guitarists can get a taste of Sibelius.
